The Osprey is a pretty good plane to fly. It has moveable props so you would tilt them toward the roof for an almost vertical take off. And at altitude tilt them back to horzontal and off you go. Very good for landing on small atolls etc. The one I had was in a UN livery (grey with big UN letters!!) and had a large back door that would fold down to let the troops out. As for the VC I cannot remember but I think it didnot have one. Anyway it was fun to fly, especially as you could almost hover, then tilt 'em down and hit a 100kts in no time.
